Hello Keith

I agree with you that most likely the majority of his claims recorded with the Bf 109 G-series were while he was serving with 10./JG 54. The only point of confusion is that it appears that I./JG 54 was flying both the Bf 109 G-2 and the Fw 190 A-series from November 1942 until March 1943 when finally the Bf 109 G-2 fighters were phased out and the unit converted entirely to Fw 190 A-4 and A-5 fighters. He did claim a number of victories with 1./JG 54 during this time so it may very well be that some of these were recorded while flying the Bf 109 G-2 and others with the Fw 190 A-4. I have no idea what types he was flying when he claimed specific victories nor indeed anything about aircraft that he flew during the time period in question. Hopefully someone else can add additional information.

Horrido!

Leo
